PREFACE. 



In preparing this work, the author has aimed 
to present to the mechanic and others who are 
interested, a systematic course of instruction in 
structural drawing, beginning with the standard 
forms and leading to the typical columns, girders, 
trusses, and framing details. 

The drawings are made as simple as possible, 
and many isometric views are given to further as- 
sist in reading and understanding the subject. 



A few problems in geometry and projection 
have been introduced for the benefit of those who 
have not studied drawing: also a short chapter 
covering the general notes on drawing materials. 

The student should begin with the first plate 
and follow in the order given, mastering each prob- 
lem in succession.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



CHAPTER I. 

NOTES ON MATERIALS. 



The student beginning the study of struc- 
tural drawing should provide himself with the 
necessary instruments of a good quality. He 
should not be hampered by using inferior ma- 
terials, as many difficulties will arise under even 
the best conditions. 

Drawing Boards. — One of the best methods 
of making a drawing board is to glue together 
narrow strips of boards, fastening two cleats 
(about two inches wide) across the back in 
such a way that there will be perfect freedom 
for the wood to expand and contract, which it 
surely will do as the humidity of the atmos- 
phere changes. This freedom may be obtained 



by cutting slots in the cleats through which the 
screws pass and placing iron washers under the 
heads of the screws. A much cheaper board 
can be constructed by securing narrow pieces 
across each end, which serve to hold the board 
from warping. This form of board will answer 
very well, especially if the paper used is not 
stretched. It is extremely important that one 
end and one side of the board should be per- 
fectly straight. 

Drawing Paper. — Drawing paper that is to 
be used for general draughting and line work 
in pencil or ink should have a firm, smooth 
surface that is not easily roughened when era- 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



sures are made. As a rule, paper that is well 
adapted to line work will not receive a flat 
wash readily. Paper suitable for wash drawings 
is made with a surface less firm but rougher 
than for Hne work. Whatman's cold pressed 
paper possesses unusual properties, in that it 
works well for both line and wash drawings. 
For general detail work, some of the tinted 
papers are more pleasant to work upon than 
white, as the white is rather trying to the eyes, 
especially when used in the evening. For highly 
finished drawings, however, white paper is gen- 
erally preferred. The right side of the paper 
can usually be determined by holding it to the 
light and finding the water-mark, which should 
read correctly on the side used. Drawing paper 
may be obtained in sheets of standard sizes as 
follows: Cap, i3"xi7"; Demy, 15" x 20"; 
Medium, i7"x22"; Royal, i9"x24"; Super 
Royal, 19" X 27"; Imperial, 22"x3o"; Ele- 
phant, 23" X 28"; Atlas, 26" X 34" ; Double 
Elephant, 27"x4o"; Antiquarian, 3i"x53"; 



Emperor, 48" x 68". The above terms apply 
only to the sizes of the sheets, and not in any 
way to grade or quality of the paper. 

T-Square. — The T-square is made of two 
parts, the head and blade, which are fastened 
together at right angles to each other. This 
instrument should be used for drawing horizon- 
tal lines only, always holding the head against 
the left-hand edge of the board. Should the 
draughtsman allow himself to use either left or 
right side of the board at will, the results ob- 
tained would be very inaccurate, owing to the 
fact that two ends or sides of the board are sel- 
dom, if ever, parallel. Again, many times the 
T-square blade does not form right angles with 
the head. One may readily see that horizontal 
lines drawn under such conditions would not 
be parallel. 

Triangles. — The draughtsman should provide 
himself with two triangles ; the 45°, and the 
30° and 60°. The triangles are used for draw- 
ing all lines that are not horizontal. Vertical 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



lines should always be drawn by placing the tri- 
angle on the upper edge of the T-square blade, 
holding the pencil or pen in a plane perpendic- 
ular to the surface of the paper, inclining it 
slightly, and drawing upward, but never down- 
ward. In drawing horizontal lines, the pencil 
or pen should be held in a plane perpendicular 
to the paper, inclining it slightly to the right. 
Draw from left to right. Angles of 45°, 30°, 
60° and go°, with a horizontal line, can be drawn 
at once by placing the triangle on the T-square 
blade. 

Instruments. — Instruments should be selected 
with the greatest care. It is much better to 
have a few pieces of excellent quality than a 
great number of inferior make. Choose qual- 
ity rather than quantity. Instruments should 
be well cared for, properly wiped each time 
after using, and the points prevented from con- 
tact with hard substances which will tend to in- 
jure them. 

Compasses. — When drawing with the com- 



passes the head should be held lightly between 
the thumb and two fingers, moving the leg con- 
taining the lead in the direction traversed by the 
hands of a clock, inclining it slightly in the 
direction of the line to be drawn. The joints 
in the legs should be so adjusted as to keep the 
lower sections perpendicular to the surface of 
the paper, and when a circle is of such a size as 
will not admit of this the lengthening bar should 
be inserted. 

Ruling Pen: — The ruling pen is a very impor- 
tant instrument and should be made of the very 
best hardened steel ; if not, it will give the stu- 
dent endless trouble. Most of the prepared 
inks in general use are provided with a quill in 
the cork of the bottle which lifts a certain 
amount of ink. The quill may be inserted be- 
tween the nibs of the pen and the ink allowed 
to flow into the pen. The ink should not be 
more than one-fourth of an inch deep between 
the nibs. Clean the pen frequently by immers- 
ing it first in clear water and then passing a 



10 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



piece of cloth or chamois skin between the nibs. 
The pen should never be put away after using 
without being thoroughly cleansed. 

Pencil.— The character of the work performed 
by a student is generally influenced by the 
condition in which he keeps his pencil. It is 
impossible to do accurate work with a dull pen- 
cil. For all rule work the wedge-shaped point 
possesses an advantage over the round point, 
in that it has a greater wearing surface, hence 
will not require sharpening so often. For 
all freehand work nothing but the round or con- 
ical point should be used. Some draughtsmen 
prefer this point for rule work as well. The 
wood should be cut well back, leaving at least 
one-fourth of an inch of the lead exposed. One 
of the best sharpeners for a pencil is a fine flat 
file, on which the lead should be frequently 
applied, to produce a sharp point. Where 
great accuracy is required, the beginner should 
use a 4 H pencil. As skill in draughting is 
acquired, a softer grade may be substituted. A 



medium grade pencil should be used for lin- 
ing-in the drawings where strength of line is 
required. 

The Scale. — A scale is an instrument used in 
reducinsf a drawing that would otherwise be too 
large for the sheet of paper on which it is to be 
placed. For instance, if we have a building 
measuring 40 x 60 ft., the drawing may be made 
on a scale of % of an inch to i ft. The space 
occupied upon the plate would be 10 x 15 in., 
exactly in proportion to the actual size. In 
using this scale, or proportion, we have taken 
an actual % of an inch and considered it i ft. ; 
and this being taken as i ft. we divide it into 
1 2 parts, each part being equal to i in. There 
will be found several different scales upon the 
instrument, all of which are divided in a similar 
manner. 

Irregular Curve. — This instrument is used in 
drawing curves that cannot be accomplished by 
the use of the compass. Such curved lines usu- 
ally pass through a succession of points which 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



have already been found. The edge of the ir- 
regular curve should be so placed (by repeated 
trials) as to pass through as many points as pos- 
sible and also a portion of the line already drawn. 
Never draw through the last point covered by 
the irregular curve. This operation requires a 
great deal of care in order to produce a per- 
fectly smooth curve. 

Penciling. — Too much stress cannot be placed 
upon the first penciling of a drawing. All draw- 
ings, whether to be inked-in or left in a strong 
pencil Hne, should first be worked out with a 
light line and very accurately placed. Many 
students have the feeling that they can correct 
the little errors while lining-in the drawing ; 
this is not so, the chances being that they will 
greatly increase rather than diminish the faults. 

Inking, — For highly finished drawings the 
stick India ink is generally preferred, but for 
ordinary work the prepared will be found satis- 
factory, r The great advantage that stick ink 
possesses over the prepared is, that in case of 



error the line can readily be removed with the 
ordinary eraser. The disadvantage in using 
the stick ink is that considerable time each day 
is required to grind a fresh supply. In inking 
a drawing the student should ink all circles and 
arcs of 'circles first, then, beginning with the 
upper horizontal line, ink in order those below. 
With the vertical hnes, begin on the left side 
of the plate and ink each line in succession. 
When several lines meet at a point always begin 
to ink from that point, allowing each successive 
line to dry before drawing another, thus pre- 
venting a blot that would otherwise occur at 
their junction. 

Visible Lines, — The visible lines of an object 
are represented by a full black line. ' 

Invisible Lines. — Invisible lines or lines that 
are hidden are represented by a dash line, the 
dashes being about one-quarter of an inch long, 
the spaces between them being less than one- 
eighth of an inch. This line should be of the 
same strength as a visible line. 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Working Lines. — Working lines are used to 
obtain certain results, and if left in pencil should 
be very light, or if shown in ink, should be very- 
light red or short dash black lines. 

Arrow Heads. — Arrow heads should always 
be in black and made with great care, their points 
just touching the line to be measured. 

Dimensioning, — In placing the dimensions it 
is always well to group as far as possible and not 
scatter them over the entire drawing. As a rule 
the same measurement should not appear in 
more than one view. The measurement line 
upon which the dimension is placed should not 
be drawn too near the line measured, usually 



about one-quarter of an inch away. It is cus- 
tomary to place all dimensions over twelve inches, 
as feet and inches, thus: 5 '-6" (five feet and six 
inches), or if in even feet, thus: 3'-o"(three feet 
and no inches). When the space between two 
lines is not sufficient to place the measurements 
in the usual manner they may be placed thus : 
Horizontal measurements should 
(Z „ read from left to right, and vertical 
-^'^-~ -«— rheasurements should read up- 
ward. Great care should be taken in making 
figures, as the worth and appearance of the draw- 
ing depend greatly upon them.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Pfot. 23. — Within a square A B C D to inscribe four 

semicircles, each touching one side of the square 

and their diameters forming a square. 

Draw diagonals A C and D B, intersecting 

in I. Draw diameters passing througii I. Draw 

2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-2. Draw 6-7, 7-8, 8-9 and 

9-6, which give us points 11, 12, 13 and 14, the 

centers of the required semicircles. 

Pfob. 24. — Within a given equilateral triangle ABC 

to inscribe three equal circles, each touching two 

sides of the triangle and two other circles. 

Bisect the angles of the triangle, letting the 
bisectors cut the sides of the triangle in i, 2 
and 3. With centers i, 2 and 3 and radius 1-2, 
describe arcs cutting bisectors in 4, 5 and 6, the 
centers of the required circles. A perpendicu- 
lar (Prob. 8) from the center of any circle to 
the side of the triangle will determine the radius 
of the circle, and also the point of tangency. 

Prob. 25. — Within a given circle to inscribe three semi- 
circles, each touching the circumscribing circle, 
and their diameters forming a 
regular triangle. 
Draw two diameters, 1-2 and 3-4 at right an- 
gles to each other, intersecting in 5. Divide 



the circle into twice as many parts as there are 
semicircles to be inscribed, beginning at i. 
Draw diameters 6-7 and 8-9. Connect 2-3, cut- 
ting diameter 8-9 in 10, which locates one point 
of the required triangle. With 5 as center and 
radius 5-10, set off 11 and 12, which when con- 
nected form the triangle. Draw lo-ii, 11 -12 
and 12-10, giving points 13, 14 and 15, the cen- 
ters of the required semicircles. 

Prob. 26. — Within a given square A B C D to inscribe 

four equal circles, each tangent to two 

others and two sides of a square. 

Draw the diagonals and the diameters mter- 
secting in i and giving points 2, 3, 4 and 5. 
Connect points 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-2, intersect-

CHAPTER III. 

SIMPLE PROJECTION, INTRODUCING THE PRINCIPLES OF WORKING DRAWINGS. 



The working drawings of any object are such 
drawings, accompanied by the proper measure- 
ments, as will tell all the facts concerning that 
object. Such drawings if sent to a mechanic 
would be sufficient to enable him to perform 
the desired piece of work without further ex- 
planation. The number of views required de- 
pends entirely upon the character of the subject 
to be drawn; for instance, in Plate 5, Fig. i, 
two views are sufficient to tell all that concerns 
the cube, whereas for a more complicated object 
three or even more views may be necessary to 
tell all the facts. 

Plate 5. — To draw the front and top views of 
the cube in three positions. 

Fig. I represents the cube so placed in the 
top view that two edges are parallel to an imag- 
inary horizontal line. In drawing the front 



view we suppose the cube to be resting upon a 
horizontal plane upon one of its faces, and so 
placed as to appear as a square if seen directly 
in front. In the top view we are supposed to' 
be looking down upon the cube, its position 
being unchanged. As noted before, the cube 
will be seen as a square in both the front and 
top views, and these should appear directly 
above one another. The space between the two 
views is immaterial, but should be such as to 
appear well on the sheet. The horizontal lines 
should be drawn with a T-square, having its 
head against the left-hand edge of the board, 
whereas the vertical lines should be drawn with 
a triangle resting on the edge of the T-square 
blade. Only three measurements are necessary. 
They should be carefully placed as indicated in 
the drawings, the arrow heads just touching the

extension lines from those that they measure, 
not overrunning or falling short. 

Fig. 2 represents the cube turned in the top 
view so that its edges make angles of 45° with 
an imaginary horizontal line. 

Fig. 3 represents the cube turned in a similar 
manner, but at angles of 30° and 60° with a 
horizontal line. In both of these figures the 
top views should be drawn first. From them 
project down and construct the front views di- 
rectly opposite the front view in Fig. i . These 
problems should be lined-in with a medium 
grade pencil, making the result lines, or, in 
other words, the outHnes of the cubes, strong 
and black, uniform in thickness throughout the 
drawing, and much resembling an inked line. 
Extension lines should be at right angles to the 
lines to be measured, and measurement lines 
should be left light. Care should be given to 
printing and figuring, as the appearance of the 
sheet depends much upon this feature of the 
work. Figs. 2 and 3 are not necessary as work- 
ing drawings of a cube, but are given as simple 



exercises for the use of the T-square and trian- 
gles, and as a method of representing foreshort- 
ened surfaces and of placing measurements 
upon inclined lines. 

Plate 6.— Fig. i represents the front, top and 
side views of an equilateral triangular prism 
placed so that two of its faces are equally visi- 
ble in the front view. In this drawing the top 
view should first be made, from which the 
front and side views are projected. The stu- 
dent should take notice that the width of the 
side view is equal to the altitude of the trian- 
gles formed by the top view and not to one of 
its sides, as many beginners are apt to suppose. 

Fig. 2. — Draw. the front and top views of a 
regular hexagonal prism according to the meas- 
urements given. In this, as in Fig. i, the top 
view should be drawn first and the front view 
projected directly below. Both the triangle in 
Fig. I and the hexagon in Fig. 2 may be con- 
structed by the use of the 30° and 60° triangle, 
or more accurately, by the use of the compasses 
as given in geometric problems 16 and 18.

Plate 7. — The drawing at the left represents

Note that the height of the pyramid is given 
on a measurement Hne parallel to the axis and 
not parallel to the slant line of the pyramid. 

The chimney model is represented by front 
and top views and a vertical section ; this section 



is supposed to be cut through line A and the 
front half removed. The surface cut by this ver- 
tical plane is section lined at 45°. Different 
pieces of material adjoining one another are sec- 
tion lined in different directions as shown in 
this problem.

Plate 8, — The drawing at the left represents 
the front and top views of a paneled prism 
turned at an angle of 30° and 60°. The top 
view should be drawn first ; the main lines of 
the prism and the vertical lines of the panel 
may then be projected down to their respective 
places as indicated by the connecting lines. In 
the drawing at the right we have the front and 
top views, and a vertical section of a hollow 



flanged cylinder. The top view should be drawn 
first, as in nearly all cases when the object is 
based upon the cylinder. As but one piece of 
material is shown in the section, all the section 
lines run in the same direction. In mechanical 
drawing, the front view of objects based upon 
the cylinder are frequently represented half in 
elevation and half in section, instead of making 
a separate drawing of the section, as in this case.

Plate 10, — Fig. i represents the front and top 
views of a hexagonal prism. In tlic front view 
this object shows two of its faces equally and 
is so inclined that its base makes an angle of 
30° with the horizontal plane. First, draw the 
front view, making the short lines at 30° and 
the long lines at 60°, and the distances A and B 
in the front view equivalent to A' and B' in 
the diagram Fig. 2 ; this diagram being a reg- 
ular hexagon. In the top view the distances 
C, D and E are equal to C, D' and E' in the 
diagram. Having obtained the position of 
these horizontal lines, project points in the 
front view to corresponding lines in the top 



view, giving points to be connected by straight 
lines. 

Fig. 3. — The top view as shown in this 
figure is the same as in Fig. i, but turned at an 
angle of 45°. The front view of this object in 
the turned position must be quite different in 
appearance from that in Fig. i ; but all its points 
will appear to be at the same height as before it 
was revolved. This being so, we have simply to 
project corresponding points in the top and front 
views until the lines intersect, giving the several 
points, which are connected by straight lines. 
For instance, point F may be traced from one 
view to another, as shown in the drawing.

STRUCTURAL DETAILS. 



Plates 12, 13 and 14 are given to acquaint 
the student witti the exact shapes given to the 
principal members that enter into the steel 
structure. He should make careful drawings 
full size, according to the given measurements, 
which are talvcn directly from the standards 
used by the leading rolling mills of America. 

The slant for the flange in both the I and 
channel beams is drawn to the American Stand- 
ard of one to six, or i6| per cent. Fillet A in 
both the I and channel beam is formed by an 



arc whose radius is ^ the thickness of the web 
at its thinnest section. Fillet B is formed by 
an arc whose radius is equal to the thickness of 
the web plus ^ of an inch. 

If the student cannot secure an engineer's 
scale, he may reduce the decimal fractions to the 
nearest sixteenth or thirty-second of an inch. 
With care the scale illustrated below can be 
made on a heavy paper. This will give any 
measurement necessary from i^^ of an inch to 
six inches.

Thus, Plate 1 5 presents the principal I and chan-

notice that only a portion of the I and channel 



beam is shown in each case, just enough to 
give all the measurements necessary to make 
the completed drawing. For instance, the 
drawing in the upper left-hand corner presents 
the measurements for a 3" I beam.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 19, — Fig. i presents the conventional 
method of representing the hexagonal nut. 
The student will see by the table of approxi- 
mate proportions that the nut is drawn to fit 
a bolt f" in diameter. Arc A-B is struck 
from center C limiting the arcs struck from D 
and E as shown by the dotted lines. 

Fig. 2 presents the conventional method of 
representing a bolt with a square head and nut. 
The student should note that the slant of the 
threads is equal to one half the space between 



two adjoining threads ; that is, A is equal to 
one half B. 

The drawings on the lower half of the plate 
give the exact shapes of completed rivet heads. 
The distance A is governed by the thickness of 
the plates riveted. In a scale drawing the head 
of the rivet is always drawn as a semicircle ; 
but in copying this the student should use the 
three centers, as indicated, to acquire a better 
appreciation of the true shape of the head.

This plate makes an excellent exercise in 
drawing especially in the use of the tangents.

C. E. 

Fig. I represents the front and bottom views 
of two angles riveted to a web plate. The 
student will note that the four rivets at the left 
of the dotted line are designated as Shop; this 
means that the riveting is to be done at the 
shop ; those at the right of the dotted line are 



designated as Field; that is, the riveting is to be 
done at the building. The student will also 
notice that the signs indicate whether the rivets 
are to be countersunk or not, and the side on 
which the countersinking is to occur. 

Fig. 2 gives the method of showing whether 
the heads of the rivets are to be flattened or 
not, and how much ; the amount being indicated 
by the diagonal lines.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 27, — This and the following plate rep- 
resent the framing angles that are in general 
use among the principal construction compa- 
nies. The student will note that in every in- 
stance, the measurement from the center of the 
first row of rivets to the back of the angle is 



two and one half inches, and from the center 
of the first row to that of the second, two 
and one quarter inches. This regularity is de- 
signed to simplify the punchings for the rivets, 
so that the several holes may be punched at one 
operation.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 29. — This plate presents the front, top 
and side views of the framing of a steel floor 
beam into a girder. The isometric drawing in 
the upper right-hand section of the plate is 
given to show the student more clearly the 
relative positions of the different members, the 



positions of the rivets being omitted. The 
size of the rivets in this and all other plates to 
follow are to be |" unless otherwise mentioned. 
The drawing should be made at least one half 
full size, and all measurements placed as indi- 
cated.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 30. — This plate represents the front, 
top and sectional views of a plate girder. 

This girder is built up with one central plate, 
known as the web, and reenforced by top and 
bottom plates and angles. The student will 
see that the angles used in the upper and lower 
members are 5" x 6" while the stiffeners or 
upright angles are 4" x 4". Both single and 
double riveting is used in this girder. The 
space between the rivets which is technically 
called "pitch," is governed by the character of 
the design and the load to be carried. The 



maximum spacing for a f " rivet is 6" and the min- 
imum 2^". The distance between the center of 
a rivet and the outside edge of any flange 
should not be less than i;^". 

The measurement directly to the right of the 
section is read thus : Six 3^" spaces are equal 
to I '-9". This applies to the spacing of rivets 
when several are spaced equally as in this 
drawing. 

This problem should be drawn at least one 
fourth full size.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 32, — This drawing presents the front, 
top and side views of a base together with the 
connection of a "closed column." The base is 
made of cast iron, the top surface being faced 
or planed off at the mill, giving an even bear- 
ing surface for the column. 

The small circle at A represents a hole in the 
casting, about i^" in diameter. These holes are 



arranged so the mason can pour in grout (thin 
mortar), after the base is properly set. By this 
method the mason is able to fill any openings 
that may have been left unfilled. 

This type of base is quite generally used ; 
but in practice, special designs and dimensions 
must be considered to meet the requirements 
of the particular problem.

with its several connections. 

The method of joining the beams is shown 
just above the section A-B. These connec- 
tions occur at each floor, differing from steel 
columns, which usually run through two floors. 

The student should note that the I-beams are 



connected to the column by means of angles, 
unlike the last two plates in which cast-iron 
lugs were used. 

The isometric drawing in the upper right- 
hand section of the plate is given to assist the 
student in reading and making the drawing. 
The rivets and bolts are omitted in this part of 
the plate.

Plate 44, — The drawing in the upper section 
of the plate gives the conventional method of 
representing a typical beam-plan. The student 
will note that the main girders are represented 
by a single line, as at G ; while the floor beams 
by a line running in the opposite direction. 
The dot-and-dash line indicates the position of 
the tie-rods. 



The drawing occupying the lower portion of 
the plate represents an enlarged detail of one 
of the floor panels, showing the manner in 
which the beams and girders are framed to- 



gether.

building up the column. Fig. 2 gives the de- 
tail of the 15" I-beam girder. Fig. 3 gives the 
detail of the 9" I-beam. Fig. 4 gives an iso- 
metric view showing the relative positions of 
the several members. Make the drawing to as 
large a scale as possible.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 47. — This plate represents the working 
drawings of column, No. 32, Plate 44, showing 
the connections between the spandrel beams 
and the column. These beams are located at 
the floor level and carry the wall above as well 
as their portion of the floor. 



Figs. I, 2 and 3 represent the front, top and 
side views of the spandrel girder as shown at 
section E. F., Plate 44. 

The student should first lay out the three 
views of the column and the main 15" girder, 
after which proceed to the details.

STEEL MILL CONSTRUCTION. 



Plate 50. — This plate gives the elevation and 
two sectional views of a typical mill construc- 
tion. The corrugated iron in the elevation is 
largely omitted to show the student the method 



of framing. 



In drawing this, it will be well to 



make the sections first and project directly from 
these to the elevation. The drawing should be 
made large ; and for a more definite idea of the 
construction the student will do well to con- 
sult the four plates of details that follow.

STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 51. — This plate presents the detail 
drawing of a corner of the building, including 
a part of the foundation. While making this 
the student should consult the previous plate, 
and not merely copy the lines as given. Every 



line should be considered in both drawings. 

The corrugated iron in the top view is shown 
as a single wavy line. It is best to draw the 
sections before the elevation. 



STRUCTURAL DRAWING. 



Plate 52, — This plate gives the detail draw- 
ings of an upper corner of the building, taking 
in the cornice. 

The section at the right should be considered 
before drawing the elevation. Draw the main 



outlines of the frame before any of the minor 
details. Note that the front view of the gutter 
is omitted, leaving the framework to stand out 
clearly.

IRON STAIRCASE CONSTRUCTION. 



Plate 62, — This plate gives the front, top and 
side views of an iron staircase. In making a 
drawing of this the student should study the 
three following sheets of details and not merely 



copy the lines given. The exercise can be made 
more helpful by changing the conditions of the 
problem slightly, and using this as a reference 

plate.
